Hey, @bashadow.
Might makes right here. Or in other words, SP/Vests/Stake makes right. We're all equal, just some of us are more equal than others.
The idea that they can pretty much move unilaterally, and then turn around and say people need to put up or shut up. Doesn't sound any different than the way things are handled in the real world.
If there were somewhere else to go, that was better, even now, I'd be there. So far, haven't found that place. I guess that should say how much of a good thing STEEM still is and the state of everything else.
